You may explain her that this is a different face of the same world where a state has been targeted by hatred and terrorism for 80 years, and everybody insisted on them being patient and just live with it.
What's happening is sad, but it is not sadder than what preceded it.

Being upset at the world and unwilling to engage in diplomacy is, thankfully, not a valid justification for ethnic cleansing and genocide. > What's happening is sad, but it is not sadder than what preceded it. The ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians is definitely sadder than what preceded it.
- pif 1y agoBeing upset at the world is not a valid justification for terrorism, either.
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agoBeing upset at what you believe to be terrorism is, thankfully, not a valid justification for ethnic cleansing and genocide, either.

- darick 1y agoHmm, based on the definition I read, sounds like both sides are doing it, Israel is just much more successful at terrorism and doing it on a much larger scale.
- nashashmi 1y agoThis is what Israel has been willing to face, from their continuous settlement expansions, to occupation of resources, to negligence of international law. Israel believes in (winning) conflicts. For as long as they have power and illusion of victory, they will brazenly ignore human suffering and wage war against anyone who stands in their way, and whatever fallout happens is what they secretly want for justification of their belligerence. Today a man who spotlighted settlement violence and behavior was killed by the same. That is terrorism. And Israel has been waging through settlers as their proxies.
- ozgrakkurt 1y agoThis kind of worldview is very common in religious extremists. Unfortunately this kind of conflict only seems to create more religious extremism. Kind of how rape victims can be abusers themselves maybe
- slt2021 1y agonot true, in fact, Israel was created via terrorism. The famous hanging of British officers in the mandate, the King David hotel bombing. Fun fact that all of the Israel's prime ministers were terrorists and engaged in terrorism. IDF was created out of terrorist organizations like Irgun. One can make argument that it was in fact israelis who brought terrorism to the middle east, which didnt have terrorism problem before
- ImPostingOnHN 1y agoMaybe, maybe not. Either way, still not a valid justification for ethnic cleansing and genocide.
